In its last season in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, the University of Denver will play 21 of its 35 games at Magness Arena in 2012-13, including two apiece against league rivals Colorado College, Wisconsin, North Dakota and Nebraska Omaha.

The Pioneers also host Cornell in a two-game nonleague series and play Air Force, Yale, New Hampshire and Boston University in nonleague home games. The contest against BU is the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Game on Dec. 29.

DU is scheduled to join the startup National Collegiate Hockey Conference in 2013-14, along with five current WCHA members (Colorado College, North Dakota, Nebraska Omaha, Minnesota Duluth and St. Cloud State) and Miami (Ohio) and Western Michigan of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association.
